Well, there's both Skyline Chili and Giordano's/Portillo's in Indy so there's that...
But yes, "Kentucky North" extend only the horizontal line drawn from Bloomington to Columbus IN...
P.S. Former resident of Bloomington...south of there you may as well be in Kentucky, period.
Indy is like a food conglomerate of Chicago and Ohio. You get, as mentioned some chains from Chicago and some Ohio based chains (Graeter's ice cream is another Ohio chain in Indy).
Boston is like 150 years older than DC and one is a Northern Port city, the other is a Southern town built on Government
Buried in your obvious derisiveness is a massive geographical fail calling DC "southern". Based on what map, other than the original 13 colonies? The Southern "town" is also more populated than the Port "city" so there is that as well.

Not really a refutation of their point.
D.C., much like Louisville, is understood to be in a north/south buffer zone that could be interpreted either way. If places like Cleveland can routinely be located in the midwest, than D.C. can certainly be called southern.
D.C. is "more populated" than Boston in the same way Columbus is more populated than Cleveland or Pittsburgh.
Why would Cincy be the principle city of the new megalopolis, and why would random opinions of people in places like California or Florida trump the real world connections that exist between Chicago and Indianapolis?
Obviously, the relationship between Chicago and Indianapolis is pretty one sided in terms of influence. However, Chicago is far and away more influential in Indy than Cincy is.
Do people not associate Columbus with Cleveland and Cincinnati? Is there not a well known term the "3 C's"?
I lived in this region for nearly as long as I've lived in CA.
Columbus is associated with Cincy and Cleveland the same way Jacksonville is associated with Miami and Tampa.
Indianapolis has never been associated with the Great Lake cities. Its not surprising the a city the size of Chicago would wield more influence than Cincinnati. Los Angeles wields more influence on cities 2000 miles away than other cities in those regions.
Cincinnati would be the principal city because if its location in relation to the others, the strength of its airport and its status as a tri-state metro area.

It is less a question of whether or not Cincinnati would be the principal city of this hypothetical amoeba of adjacent midwestern metros. It is more a question of "Why would Indy be lumped in with Cincy instead of a different hypothetical amoeba centered on Chicago". The economic ties, the influence, the money being pumped into Indy via Chicago firms; which I've outlined already in separate comments in this thread, point to a stronger tie between Indy and Chicago than Indy and Cincy.
